My 5 year old son just won't listen!!!! I am at my wits end! I have tried everything!!!! I have taken away privelages, time outs, nose to the wall, yelling, talking, 1-2-3 magic, even spanking!!!! Nothing works! He is in Senior kindegarden this year, and already after two months of school he has had 5 letters sent home from school!! The teacher now sends home daily progress in a notebook telling me all the bad things my son does! I have talked to my doctor several times in the past two years and he keeps ignoring me!! My son is having a rough time at home, school and swimming lessons!!!! What do I do? ?

WOW.. sounds like he needs his room stripped of everything but his bed, pillow, and a blanket.. everything else comes out.. pain in the butt for u but trust me it works.. it gets their attention and shows then we mean business..no toys, no clothes. NOTHING in his room. and as his behaviour improves he gets something back but any lapses then pull the stuff back out..tough love..good luck

Has your doctor refered you to a developmental pediatrition, just to rule out anything?

I have asked my Dr. several times for a referral but he just tells me that he is just a boy and is fine! I finally last week faxed the most recent letter from his school to my doctor showing that he is disrupting his class now with his behavior and I'm waiting to see if I get a referral...if I don't, I think I might need to look for a new doctor!! I don't know what to do!! I love my son, he is my everything, but it is getting to the point where i just want to hide from him!

How awful for u to feel like that..Is there a school counsellor or a mentor that u and your son could talk to?
Is there any triggers setting him off?
Sending u some hugs .. sounds like u could use them...**HUGS**

I live in Woodstock Ontario. This has been coming on for awhile...however, his father stopped seeing him in June, as his girlfriend does not like my son. He has just started going to see his father again recently. They have been together for a year, and have a 2 month old baby. Alex has been pushed aside for their baby, and her son. I try to make up for it the best I can by doing fun stuff with him alot, but i know I cannot replace his father. I have been on a waiting list for a local agency here that has counsellors but i have been waiting for 3 months....tonight was a good night! I enjoyed playing with my son again for the first time in a long time!

Oh that's great. I hope you have better days like today. Keep us posted on how things are going. Unfortunately when you need the help the most there is always a wait list. Do you have a behaviour management agency in your area. Sometimes they offer free classes. They may be able to give you some direction.
